I think how Zirkzee fits in the team will be key and it should show right from preseason or we're in for a long season again.
Last season, our main front three (Rashford - Hojlund - Garnacho) had too similar profiles, with all of them wanting to get the final ball in behind the defense. Overall, their playstyles didn't combine well; or at all in fact.
If Zirkzee can be the link between whoever plays on flanks, then our attack will be unlocked. Unlike Antony, Amad also seems to be capable of playing other players in as well as cut inside, so our attack will be even more diversified. Never mind the goals, I think we will be far more entertaining.

I don't understand why Rashford gets singled out for this when his deputy, Garnacho, is guilty of this just as much. Heck, even Antony and Rasmus himself aren't that good at playing others in.Personally I think if we remove Rashford from the equation we as a collective will score a lot more goals.
